It's the translation of the Cipher manuscript (available in the 8th level hall in Pnyx, or the stronghold with Tavara). I suppose I should've posted the link to the Cythera books archive as well.

Oh yeah, that was it. How come some books (like that one) say Kythera, which is the greek spelling of the real Cythera island (I think, or at least close to it)?

I made a thread asking how you say it. You can find it. :P

Why do they spell it differently though? Also, who do you (anybody) think the best bet for Omen's master is?

My guess is Omen's master is simply the head Undine, not a character in the game. Though it is curious that the head Undine would risk his life to kill Alaric. . .

The thing that's so weird though is that if Omen's master wasn't in the game, or was someone weird, why would Pelagon impersonator, of all Undine, be talking if you use the corrupted crolna on Alaric? Also, what exactly is, aside from backstory and Abydos, the point of Tavara in Cythera anyway?

Tavara could always just be a side story that you can follow if you pay attention.

Somehow he seems important though. Maybe he was meant to be something, but never was.

Then why would Pelagon impersonator be talking when you use the tainted crolna on Alaric, instead of the head undine? But then again, why wouldn't Omen...?

*Shrugs* I don't see why he shouldn't. Omen probably ran off to hatch up his evil revenge plan, and Fake Pelagon was still wandering around mourning his master.

Or maybe various different undine inhabited Fake Pelagon at different times?

Possible...maybe Pelagon is like a puppet for the Undine...

Assuming Joppa is an undine, was their ever a real Joppa? A human Joppa?

All of this makes my head hurt seeing I haven't played Cythera in a couple months.

You ought to play Cythera more often than that to be considered a true fan :P

I am sorry. Not enough time, my computer is getting slow. I guess I'll play it today.

Cythera is inconvinient, isn't it? New computers can't restart in OS 9 anymore. And the registered version of Pandora's Box only works in OS 9, so if I want to cheat I have to use an old computer.

Cythera X will be so exciting ^_^ I imagine I'll abandon Pandora's Box altogether.

Classic's not unbearable, but Classic's not even in the Intel computers. Though I never used Pandora's box anyway...

Is there any fact about the undine that actually is answered in Cythera (aside from they represent water, they can shapeshift, and are kind of evil)?

For all we know, Joppa is completely innocent (ie perhaps he's a false lead?). While it seems logical that he is responisble for Larisa's disappearance, Cythera is far too full of plot-twists for something so straightforward.

...But perhaps...perhaps Larisa (or rather, the Larisa we see in-game) is Undine? Perhaps Myus sent Joppa along with Larisa because he suspected the Undine were up to something? Perhaps Joppa found out Larisa was Undine, and the Undine in turn delt with Joppa and thier Larisa clone as to make it look like Joppa kidnaped Larisa? The mind wobbles...

You know, Joppa always bothered me. His portrait was never friendly looking and I remember him being kind of rude. Do you really think Timon would not know his sister was an Undine?

Everything's a possibility, but don't we have enough mysteries already? Larisa is a question that's actually (kind of) answered, I think we should accept it :P Myus, being allied with undine, sent an undine friend to "take care" of someone who was getting too close to the Seldane.

Come to think of it, what if Joppa wasn't planning on killing Larisa, but he was merely following her around to be on the safe side? Larisa could have seen Bellerophon open the door (and shouldn't she have noticed that?), but Joppa killed her while Bellerophone was inside because he didn't want her going in there.

They can die, they were allied with Comana (or using Comana, whatever), Alaric is part undine, they threw the Seldane from three of their four palaces. . . That's all I can think of @_@

Also, how can that Pelagon portrait actually be a portrait of a real human? It looks like cheese or something...

Wait, Pelagon isn't supposed to be a person? I thought it was a brand name goat dung!

Why are you picking on Pelagon? Loads of the portraits don't look like people. . .

Because his is the weirdest. There are some that are weird, but you can at least see a human-like creature. Though I suppose Pheres's is pretty weird...
